Miniature cheesecakes are a great way introduce both portion control and cuteness into dessert. You can always bake them in a muffin pan, but this Mini Pumpkin Cheesecake Pan gives you a few advantages that regular muffin pan doesn’t. You don’t need any paper liners for these pans because the bottoms are removable. All you need to do is loosen the sides of the cheesecake and push up on the bottom of each cavity, and the mini cheesecake will slide right out. The sides of the pan are nonstick, too, which really makes this easy to use.. Also, the cavities are pumpkin-shaped, making them perfect for fall and winter cheesecakes, even if they’re not pumpkin flavored.
As it so happens, I have one of these lovely Chicago Metallic Mini Pumpkin Cheesecake Pans to give away this week, and since my cookbook will be shipping in just a few days, I’m going to include a FREE copy of the cookbook along with the pan, making this a giveaway extra special. Now, there are no mini pumpkin cheesecake recipes in the book, but the pan comes with a good basic pumpkin cheesecake recipe to get you started with your pan.
To win, just leave a comment telling me what you favorite cheesecake flavor is on this post by Friday, October 23rd . A winner will be selected randomly. Don’t forget to include your e-mail on the form where you leave a comment (not in the comment itself) so I can contact you if you’re the winner!

October 20, 2009Pumpkin is my favorite, though plain is a close second.

October 20, 2009What a brilliant pan! My old college roommate’s mom used to make a fabulous chocolate swirl cheesecake that I have made a few times. Just fabulous decadence. I also love, actually prefer, the fluffy, light, dry cheesecake found in most Jewish/Kosher bakeries (like the one on Rue des Rosiers in Paris). Yum!

October 20, 2009I’d have to say anything with Oreos

October 20, 2009I’m torn between plain (if it’s REALLY good) or a Black Forest cheesecake recipe that I’ve made several times. It all depends on which I’m in the mood for.

October 20, 2009Turtle cheesecake is the best ever! Oh but plain with strawberry glaze drizzled over the top is delish too! Then there’s chocolate marble OMG

October 20, 2009Well of course they have so many flavors at Cheesecake Factory. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water! But I love banana, it’s my favorite flavor. Though right now with the wonderful fall weather we are having in KS, I’m feeling like caramel apple!
